Control The City! (Inactive)

Game Master D-Kal

House Wintrish, owing a certain amount of fealty to Lictor Severs “Boneclaw” Di’Vri for a secretive favor they had needed concerning the disposial of certain unfortunate individuals had sworn to dedicate the first-born child of this generation to the Order of the Nail in return for this little favor. And thus Marcello was prepared to embrace the iron-tight ideals of the Hellknight order through most of his childhood, being taught the steely discipline, draconian regimental rules and countless local customs and laws.

As thus, the indoctrinated youth, like many of his peers, was admitted to the Order of the Nail where his one goal was to quell the savage practices and bringing their idea of civilization to the inhabitants of the wild frontier. After having passed his ruthless sessions in the Orders barracks, Marcello is now sent out on his first mission, to ensure that a growing merchantile town is brought under the influence of Cheliax and to both ensure that the pleas of a local group of like-minded individuals succeed and that things run smoothly in the realm. After all, the prosperity of a town is the first step to civilization. And with time, he might even be rewarded with the possibility of setting up his own minor unit of Hellknights in the area.

Sirani is very possessive over things she considers ‘hers’. It could be an item, a place, a person; whatever it is, if you mess with it she’ll gut you. She’s the only one allowed to mess with her things.

Last month Sirani’s sister was taken by a rival thief. Sirani started receiving her fingers in the mail, with the threat that more would follow unless Sirani left town. While it had been satisfying to track that thief down and pull his eyes out, her sister was still damaged by the incident. Damage to her possession is unacceptable.

Sirani has noticed that the more powerful one is in the underworld, the less likely that they or their things will be messed with. She’s decided that the title ‘Sirani, Queen of the Underworld’ should belong to her. It has such a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? And then no one would dare touch what is hers. However, she knows she can’t pull it off alone. She’s been keeping her eyes and ears open for those whose goals might align with hers.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------------------
Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.
Bonus Feat: Humans gain one extra feat at level 1.
Favored Enemy (Human): At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.

At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.

If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.
Track: A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Wild Empathy: A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.
Trapfinding: A trapper adds 1/2 her ranger level on Perception skill checks made to locate traps and on Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A trapper can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Endurance: A ranger gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level.
Favored Terrain (Urban):At 3rd level, a ranger may select a type of terrain from Table: Ranger Favored Terrains. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks when he is in this terrain. A ranger traveling through his favored terrain normally leaves no trail and cannot be tracked (though he may leave a trail if he so chooses).

At 8th level and every five levels thereafter, the ranger may select an additional favored terrain. In addition, at each such interval, the skill bonus and initiative bonus in any one favored terrain (including the one just selected, if so desired), increases by +2.

If a specific terrain falls into more than one category of favored terrain, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

But Alexis didn't want that. Even from an early age he had found pleasure in hunting. The stalking for the prey, looking without it knowing and the solid chunk that followed the song of the bow. He loved it, but it needed more, so when he was taught about traps, he was overjoyed. Traps started being an obession for him. He would think about them, non-stop, dream about them and the more he thought about them, the more time was spent outside, hunting, trying new traps and tracking down prey.

His hunt for new prey to try new traps on led him further away from the town until he was nearly a whole day's journey away from the town before it dawned on him... All animals were the same in the forest... But in a city, people will talk, warn someone... Traps would be even better in a city, would be more satisfying on people that could think further than "food! so it dawned to him. Traps for people.

bard class abilities

Preformance
Countersong (Su): At 1st level, a bard learns to counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components.) Each round of the countersong he makes a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use the bard's Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Countersong relies on AUDIBLE components.

Distraction (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the Distraction, he makes a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the Distraction is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the Distraction, but it must use the bard’s Perform check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.

Fascinate (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures affected. The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. For every three levels a bard has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.

Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.

Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on AUDIBLE and visual components in order to function.

Inspire Courage (Su): A 1st level bard can use his performance to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and IMPROVING their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the bard’s performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 5th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +4 at 17th level. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. inspire courage can use AUDIBLE or visual components. The bard must choose which component to use when starting his performance.

Inspire Competence (Su): A bard of 3rd level or higher can use his performance to help an ally succeed at a task. The ally must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard. The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill as long as she continues to hear the bard’s performance. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the bard has attained beyond 3rd (+3 at 7th, +4 at 11th, +5 at 15th, and +6 at 19th).

Certain uses of this ability are infeasible, such as Stealth, and may be disallowed at the GM's discretion. A bard can't inspire competence in himself. inspire competence relies on AUDIBLE components.

Rallying Cry (Su): At 1st level, an arcane duelist can use performance to rally dispirited allies. Each round he makes an Intimidate check. Any ally (including the bard) within 30 feet may use this check in place of his own saving throw against fear and despair effects. Those already under a fear or despair effect can attempt a new save each round using the bard’s Intimidate check. Rallying cry does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. This is a mind-affecting ability that uses AUDIBLE components.
